"Now, about your request, I could have agreed at some point but not anymore: I've had enough with people complaining about Spywares and Trojans distributed with Plus!, I don't want to do anything that could lead to real spywares. I know that's pretty radical but that's the reality of public softwares. People download anything, with caring for the consequences and accuses the developers (me here) when there is a problem... that's just life"

So because of the security risks and dumb people not knowing what they install or download we get hold out on this feature. Sad but true.

since i have no idea how an auto responder is spyware and i basically have no idea what you're saying, i want Patchou to explain this to me.

what securtiy risks are there if when someone says "hello" your messenger replies with "hello" by itself? it does the same with ping comands unless you turn that off. also you would have to set the responder yourself to what it replies to and what it replies with

p.s. give me the link to that thread so i can read it myself please

scratch that, i read the thread and still dont understand how it's a security risk. Patchou, please explain
